Welcome to Cambridge's student climate change campaign!What do we do?
Energise Cambridge directly negotiates with the University’s key decision makers on environmental and sustainability issues, engaging students on these issues and making a real difference to the University’s environmental impact. Energise is a dynamic society where you’ll learn valuable skills, meet new people and be part of a society with true impact at the University level. Our campaign for a more sustainable Cambridge was established in 2011 and has played a key role in putting environmental issues on the map and securing an ambitious new University Environmental Policy. Join us to continue pushing for change. We want the University of Cambridge to seriously commit to an ambitious and effective carbon reduction target and take strategic action to achieve this. At the same time, we aim to engage Cambridge students on issues of climate change and sustainability in fun and entertaining ways. We organise a student campaign each year to raise awareness and encourage students to act on climate change. See what we get up to! Making wind turbines in the snow to show our support climate change action and renewable energy!*
